Bill Hardgrave, Dean of the Auburn University College of Business, placed a ceremonial, signed brick onto the east side of Lowder Hall on Wednesday, November 28. Once completed, the newly bricked section of the building will conclude a year-long renovation project. In addition to the replacement of all the existing brick on the building, the $5.6 million renovation included the installation of a new roof, windows, glass entrance doors, pre-cast panels and waterproofing. These improvements correct long-standing building water intrusion issues. The project is ahead of schedule and is expected to be complete before February 5, 2013.
